I was thinking of this past year, 2012, and the changes it’s brought. I could easily discuss all the personal changes, such as my retirement and our first two grandchildren arriving, but for the purpose of this Blog article I’ll going to focus on the area of my photography gear changes and camera upgrades.

Now the obligatory photography is out of the way…I’m pleased to announce our second grandchild, Lily Kathleen, arrived Wednesday afternoon and is doing awesome! She’s a little thing of beauty, not quite five pounds, but was … Read More
Photographically I’ve been experimenting a little using some of the lens I own but in the course of daily activity seldom use. This usually means using prime, wide angle or telephoto lens with ether my Nikon D600 or the Olympus OM-D. It’s been interesting but the results have varied.
Personally I’ve been feeling shocked and … Read More
“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
During one of our explorations we came upon an area of … Read More
Most of my photographic opportunities are coming from local sources these days and I don’t foresee that changing in the immediate future, so, as fair warning it’s probably trees and streets for a while.
I guess then it falls to me to find some interest in capturing and presenting these “common things.”
Having no huge … Read More
You can get a lot of different “flavors” in a small town even during a holiday where there is a central Christmas theme about. You might even find a few holiday critters.
It’s a little scary to me what “alternative clothing and accessories” might entail considering what you see being worn as standard fair here … Read More
Something I’ve always regretted about the location of our home is there’s not a clear/clean view of the horizon either to the east or west by which to enjoy beautiful sunrises or sunsets.
So normally, when home, I don’t pay to much attention to the sky. However, early this morning, as I threw a full … Read More
“In the weeds” is an interesting saying. It’s often used to signify being lost, off the known path or being behind or overwhelmed in completing some task. It’s not normally used in a positive context.
There’s also a little known movie “In the Weeds” with Molly Ringwald which came out in 2000 about the … Read More
Only a couple of photos from walks with Maggie these wonderful early winter days. Not much else to tell and not much need to.
After posting here of “extra” used camera equipment I was planning to sell and not getting any reasonable offers I’ve proceeded to sell it on-line. I thought I’d share a little information from that process.
First, you’ll see a number of the major online companies/stores which are in the business of selling cameras and … Read More
Crunching about in the woods this last week with a crisp carpet of fallen leaves beneath my feet I was remembering how much I use to enjoy playing in the leaves on fall days as a child — wonderful play. I’ve noticed I wasn’t the only one enjoying the fall woods and it’s fallen leaves, … Read More
I’ve not visited many of my normally daily read websites in the last week or so. I’ll claim I’ve been busy but honestly looking back I sometimes wonder what I’ve been busy with.
It’s the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S this week. However, if you watched U.S. TV you’d think of it more as … Read More
